    Poker rule question

    So I am getting conlficting info from some friends on this one. Maybe Druff/China/Jasep or anyone else who plays regularly can solve this for me.

    Home game, 9 handed, pineapple. UTG raises to $10, call, player not paying attention, 3 calls behind that guy. Dealer throws the flop out and everyone is to throw away a card. All of a sudden the guy not paying attention says "wait, i never acted preflop."

    What do you do here. I am hearing you put the cards back in, shuffle, and allow the guy to act. Others are saying you just tell the guy to get fucked.

    Unfortunately easiest solution is to call it a misdeal, and scrub the whole hand partly since the guy who wasnt paying attention knows everyone behind him has a calling hand.
    Since its a home agem for low stakes i assume most of them are cold calling donks.

    The dealer should have counted the pot and seen it was at least $10 light before dealing the flop.
    When faced with a difficult decision, ask yourself "What would Micon do?", then do the opposite.

    There isnt a set professional dealer, it just passes around the table. I definitely dont count the pot before I deal a hand personally.

    So you can call it a misdeal and give everyone their $10 back? Is that just your idea or the actual rule? Im really looking for the actual rule here. In a casino setting wouldnt each player acting out of turn get a warning?

    In a casino, the first player to act out of turn would have got a warning and the action would have gone back to the player not paying attention so the flop wouldnt have been dealt.


    I'll let others comment, but my choice of "misdeal" might have been wrong word, right meaning in this situation.

    This isn't an uncommon scenario...

    At the two casinos I play the rule is identical...

    The Flop and burn get returned to the deck, the player who did not act now gets to act, the player behind him has his call committed to the pot no matter what, so if he acted out of turn and the player who did not act decides to raise, that 10 dollars is staying in the pot no matter what...

    Action is completed and then the flop is dealt out...

    All callers are committed or just the first caller after the skipped guy?

    The house owner thought the guy was angle shooting so the decision was he could get fucked, fwiw
